Author's POV
Mrs Baker left early to the bank by 5:30am as it was a bit far from home. Mr Baker decided to drop Audrey at school while May and Felicia found their way to their respective universities as May was a student at the university in Lagos while Felicia was acquiring her masters in another part ofLagos which was not so far from their place of residence excluding the traffic.
Felicia had packed her luggages the night before and left the same time her Mom left for the bank. Audrey was a student of "**PEAK ONLY HIGH SCHOOL**and she was almost done with high school, and was aspiring to become a doctor.
**PEAK ONLY** had their own daycare, primary and high school and Audrey happened to have attended every single one of them. Her high school was seven streets away from the Baker's home. As soon as Mr Baker dropped Audrey at her school, her class teacher walked to Mr Baker quickly as Audrey ran to her class.
"Hello, Miss Abigail. How are you doing? And how can I help you ma?" Mr Baker greeted politely.
" Good morning sir, I'm very well. Thank you" Miss Abigail replied with British accent. Somewhere in Mr Baker mind- he wondered why Audrey wasn't speaking nicely at least a bit close to her class teacher's accent.
He suddenly felt Audrey was wasting his resources but he laughed it off in his head saying he was too worried. " I would like to talk about Audrey sir and as regards to her studies" Miss Abigail continued.
"Sure, continue" Mr Baker said.
" Would you like to come into the classroom sir?" Miss Abigail asked politely. It was plausible to think of Miss Abigail as a polite woman, she dressed like one( She had a white long sleeved shirt on and a ash coloured tight skirt on with a long Ghana weaving braid hairdo)
"No thanks, I have to leave as soon as possible to work. So let's make it quick" Mr Baker told her.
" Sure sir. Audrey has been distracted during classes lately, I don't know what she's been investing her thoughts more on, then I see her self esteem going down and she has decided to do things that she has never been interested in since I have been her class teacher in her first year in senior high school" Miss Abigail told Mr Baker with concern
" What might those be?" Mr Baker asked concerned by all he heard from his daughter class teacher.
" She has been developing what children her age call "Puppy love"...
" Miss Abigail, I will appreciate it if you don't talk anymore in terms I don't understand"
" Sure sir. Being too interested in fashion and makeup, boys, magazines, entertainment news... I can't remember all though but just this few. I know all this is pretty much expected of adolescents but it's too sudden. And if she wants to fulfill that dream of hers, she has to be focused" Miss Abigail concluded quickly
" Boys??? and Audrey. I have never for once placed the two in one sentence. She has never been interested in all these you mentioned. Her mother would be as shocked as I am. " Mr Baker was shocked
"My worst fears are coming alive" Mr Baker murmured.
"What did you say sir? " Miss Abigail asked as she thought Mr Baker did say something to her.
" Nothing. Thanks for letting me know all these. I will see to it that something is done about these things you just told me and by the way who is the boy that my daughter has set her eyes on" Mr Baker was grateful about getting such news
" Oh his name is George. He also tops the class with your daughter most times" Miss Abigail smiled
"Thanks. I will get going" Mr Baker said and got into his car then drives away while Miss Abigail says okay as he drives away.
